Ello

I first heard of Portland's Corrina Repp when reading about her 2004 album, It’s Only the Future. Apparently, the album’s producer and co-creator, Keith Schreiner, would set the mix controls and then sketch random illustrations as he listened to Repp put her haunting sound to tape.

It’s a perfect description for the silent, almost-meditative space her music creates. And happy or sad, rain or shine, it’s a space to which I periodically return, seeking comfort and solace in Corrina Repp’s dusky blue and lovely world.
